View of Mt. McKinley from newly plowed section of Denali Highway

I have driven the Denali Highway several times, but in the past always west to east. The state DOT started plowing the Denali Highway this past week and we drove in as far as the plowing had progressed (about 17 miles). It was only when we came back out I realized what a great view of Mt. McKinley you get from the Denali Highway. The hills rise up above the floor of Broad Pass enough to give an excellent panorama.

About Me

I am a free-lance artist specializing in pen and ink drawings, mainly of old equipment, historic structures, and other culturally significant sites. My home is in Fairbanks, the Golden Heart of Alaska. For 30 years I have been tramping the back roads of Interior Alaska, documenting its mining camps, homesteads, cemeteries and other sites before time, vandals and development erase them from the landscape. Recently I have also been writing a column in my local newspaper about historic sites around Interior Alaska. On the pages of my blog you will find images of my art, writings on an artist's life in Fairbanks, and some of my columns. I hope you enjoy my ramblings.
